An ad for merchandise for sale was posted on Craig's List. I responded to the add as interested in purchasing the items. After numerous emails with the "Seller" and negotiating the purchase price, we came to an agreed upon amount and plan. I sent him/her $1000.00 dollars via Western Union to the address he provided.in return, he was to immediately release the merchandise to be shipped to me via Federal Express. Upon receipt of the merchandise, I was to wire the remaining balance of $1000.00 to him. He has since indicated that he requires additional money to be able to ship the merchandise to me as he found out that the actual shipping charges are more than he expected. Additionally, he is in the Philippines "handling family business" and needs the money to return to the U.S. He has stated that his father owned a business in the U.S. That sells this merchandise but recently passed away and he is needing to liquidate the assets. The address in the US that he/she provided to me is 428 North Boulevard Road, Richmond, VA. Upon investigation, I have found this to be the location for the Virginia Historical Society. As of 3/11 I have not received the merchandise as agreed.
